Kane Hodder SF12 E46

Grab your hockey masks and machetes gang! This week, Wes hosts larger-than-life fan favorite Kane Hodder, via remote from Bubba Fest in Knoxville. For those that may not know, Hodder is famous for his portrayal of Jason Voorhees in several FRIDAY THE 13th movies as well as starring in a slew of other projects such as the HATCHET film series and DEATH HOUSE. 
 
The two discuss several of Kane’s movies, both past (OLD 37) and upcoming (KNIFECORP), what’s it’s like to be most famous for a role with zero lines, and if Kane thinks the modern shift toward political correctness could harm the horror industry down the road. We also learn the answers to the big questions like what’s on Kane’s playlist and does he dance. 
 
Sadly, Kane can’t stay the whole show so Wes fills the void in our hearts with some lively events happening at Scarefest XII like celebrity ghosts hunt news and photo op announcements. But we are still left wondering, how do Kane’s fans know that’s really him under that hockey mask? 

 

G Tom Mac SF12 E45

Where else would you hear an interview that includes vampires and Broadway musicals? Look no further as this week Wes and co-host Chris Sutton speak to singer, songwriter, and composer G Tom Mac.

G, as he’s called by Roger Daltrey, discusses his upcoming appearance at Scarefest XII and his new Broadway musical “A Lost Boy Story”, a project over 4 years in the making. Along the way he gives us insight into his passion for music and his creative process for writing the musical’s songs and story, which expands beyond the film.

Yan Birch SF12 E21

Tonight Wes and co-host Jason Boyd speak to Swedish horror icon Yan Birch. Though well know as the Stairmaster from the horror classic The People Under the Stairs, Yan has starred in dozens of features and is a man of many talents. He holds both a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and an advanced degree in mathematics. He is also immersed in various genres and media outlets outside of horror films such as guest spots on Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Hawaii Five-O. Yan also works behind the camera as a producer and owns his own production company called Pure Entertainment.

Yan has appeared many times as a villain, even Satan himself, but he explains how he is primarily drawn to the creative process so he will just as easily play a hero. He talks about his tremendous work experience with Wes Craven on The People Under the Stairs, his views on how television is beginning to evolve into something more like feature films, the missed opportunities to star in both Die Hard and Passenger 57, and how he would definitely like to direct one day. However, a talk with Yan can’t be complete without some talk about the movie Sky Sharks. Currently in post production, it should be coming soon. All we needed to hear was zombie Nazis riding on jet powered sharks. Minds were blown!

Wes also reminded everyone if they would like to be a speaker at Scare Fest this year the deadline to register is March 31. Don’t miss out! We also learned that nothing kills a period film like rims on a classic car.
